Hi everyone, I got a question about how to pick the right Prop for the right motor and esc and frame I bought. I also bought RTF quad and I have less experience to build a quad. But last month I got some free motors, ESCs and lipo battery form GensTattu’s giveaway.

These are:

Tattu 2305 2450kv motors;

Tattu 30A BLHeli_S ESC;

Tattu R-line 1300mAh 4S 95C Lipo.

I decided to build a quad by myself, so I bought these quad parts from banggood,
Frame:H250 ZMR250 250mm;

Flight control: F3 Flight Controller Acro 6 DOF/Deluxe 10 DOF

FPV Camera: Eachine 1000TVL 1/3 CCD 110 Degree 2.8mm Lens Wide Voltage 5-20V Mini FPV Camera NTSC PAL Switchable

I don’t know whether my quad can fly, this is my first try . Now the question is what size prop do I need and what kind a good one that does not break

If you have any good advice to me, you can leave your post.

Thanks
 
Nice score! But why are you putting all that nice stuff on that cheap-ass frame? There are sooooo many better options out there. Check out the Space One FPV line of frames for example.

Nothing wrong with a zmr250 frame.
Or most frames as long as decent thick carbon. I would recommend a zmr or a qav-r 220. For a first build. Loads of space. For a noob. All that kit is compatible also.

If I was going to pay big bucks for a frame it would be armattan. Lifetime guarantee. Other than that it may aswell be a cheap one for his first build.

So can you list the some good frame for me, give me more choice, and you'd better leave the links to me.
 
QAV - R 220
Tweaker 220
Alien 220
Martian 220
All these frames are on ebay in 3-5mm carbon. For about 20. These are more than enough for a beginner. Why go spend say 70-100 bucks for a kraken only to break it & bin it. An armattan no problem, decent 5mm cheap frame will do the job just as good. Just maybe not as fast. Some of the new frames are to tight a space for first builds. Maybe when you get a bit more confident in soldering methods & wiring is cut down along with weight.
Then the small builds come.
The smaller the frame the dearer the parts. Stick with a zmr 250 so you can use
5 or 6 inch props with them beefy motors.
